Director of Software Development Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/13/2018 "Building web apps made easy, but not entirely customizable" 3/5 What do you like best about Apache Wicket? Wicket makes it quick and easy to set up customized web apps. The templating is very nice, and it has implementations of pretty much any web component you could possibly want, and lets you override and customize classes for components not supported out of the box Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Adding custom CSS and JS to a page isn't exactly straightforward, and integrating with JQuery was kind of a pain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I found wicket to be good when you want to quickly throw up a web page and map Java objects to tags in the page. I also like that we could have a designer create the web page in html, and then a developer could later on just add the wicket tags in the same html page to add the data we needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Apache Wicket? It's sort of a MVC framework that uses state. Most modern web apps are now stateless and API based. Wicket is really starting to show it's age in web development. It can also be complicated when you start wanting to have complex pages with lots of elements and interactivity or when you want to add other frameworks/components that aren't part of wicket. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Apache Wicket: It's not been adopted that much and I don't see it having much of a future compared to more modern web frameworks. I'd look at others seriously before choosing Wicket. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Apache Wicket solving and how is that benefiting you?
